I agreed to purchase 2 car ramps from M motor. When it came to checkout invoice changed to donation. No goods received. PayPal refused refund. Can't contact seller.

Why did you pay it when you saw it had changed to a donation?

Maybe because I am in my late seventies and don't check properly. Your comment is not useful. Don't get old is the answer.

How old do you think I am? Don't use that as an excuse its insulting to the rest of us oldies !!

Just means you take a bit of care doing things online / read up on scams etc and take responsibility when you make a mistake.

Guess you had a sense of humour failure at my joke about oldies  🙄

As for the advice I can post it without your permission, so telling you to research sites before purchasing is good advice and good sense, so, you're welcome.

Then check on google / trustpilot / reviews before you buy from strange websites?

If you funded your paypal payment via a credit card then they 'may' help you but equally may decline just like paypal as it was a donation.....don't suggest you stop using your credit card as well though.  🤔
